Average Happiness for Twitter (hedonometer.org)

Huh, I wouldn't have thought that Twitter is happy on Christmas. Then again, I wouldn't have expected that Twitter is ever happy.

Although words like "merry" probably influence the result quite a bit without giving a feedback on real happiness. Otherwise nice graph and I see that issues with phrasing are planned in the future.

Wondered how the name hedonometer came about, but it apparently was already used in the 19th century to describe devices that measure happiness. So on that front, nice domain!
